ARTICLE 6:  TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS

ARTICLE 7:  EVALUATION

 

6.1          Voluntary Temporary Transfer

 

A permanent credit unit member may voluntarily transfer from one service unit (e.g., discipline and/or campus) to another, or they may divide their duties between service units, provided the procedures stated below are followed.

 

6.1.1       Procedures.

 

(a)  If the transfer request is initiated by the permanent credit unit member within a three (3) week period of the posting of potential units available (as required in 6.1.1.1 below), the unit member may apply to the Professional Affairs Committee (PAC) for a voluntary transfer and shall notify the appropriate Dean (not Department Chair). (Form F 6.1).  The PAC shall review the transfer request on the basis of the criteria listed in 6.1.1.1 through 6.1.1.5 below and shall recommend (for or against the transfer) to the supervising Vice President.  The Vice President shall make the final decision on the basis of the criteria in 6.1.1.1 through 6.1.1.5.

 

(b)  If the transfer request is not initiated by the permanent credit unit member within the three (3) week period of posting of potential units available (as required in 6.1.1 (a) above), the unit member may request a voluntary transfer from the supervising Vice President, but said transfer shall occur at management discretion.

 

6.1.1.1    Definition: Voluntary Temporary Transfer.  (One or Two Semesters).  A temporary vacancy shall be determined to exist if scheduled classes/assignments have been created for which there are no  permanent credit unit members at the time of their initial scheduling.  All of these units shall be posted under the heading of POTENTIAL UNITS AVAILABLE, said posting to occur simultaneously at Human Resources, the UPM office, and the District's libraries.  The posting shall be for a period of three (3) weeks within the 175 day academic year.  Requests to fill the vacancy shall be granted on the basis of the criteria listed in 6.1.1.1 through 6.1.1.5.

 

6.1.1.2    Minimum Qualifications (majors or minors). Qualified to perform the services required; plus Section 6.1.1.3.

 

6.1.1.3    Experience.  Must have taught/worked or successfully completed at least six (6) units of upper division or graduate courses in the discipline(s) involved in the two (2) years preceding the transfer.

 

6.1.1.4    Program Considerations.  The requested transfer shall not be approved if there is not a minimally qualified unit member, pool applicant or emergency hire available, at the time of the request, to replace the transferee.

 

6.1.1.5    Seniority.  If all the factors noted above are equal, the bargaining unit member with the most seniority shall have preference except as provided for in 6.3.4.

 

6.2          Permanent Transfer

 

Permanent voluntary transfers will be provided on the basis of open competition for the available position.

 

6.3          Involuntary Transfer   (Form F 6.3)

 

A permanent credit unit member may be involuntarily transferred from one (l) service unit (e.g. discipline and/or campus) to another service unit on the same campus, or they may be required to divide their duties between campuses or service units provided that such involuntary transfer shall not occur unless:

6-1


6.3.1       Reasons for Transfer.  It is demonstrated by the District that there is a significant reduction in the need for the services provided by counselors, librarians, instructors, and other members of the bargaining unit, or it is demonstrated by the District that there is a valid educational need for the transfer.  Upon request, written reasons for the transfer shall be provided.

 

6.3.2       Assignment.  When the transfer would result in an assignment listed in Section 6.4.1. below, the unit member involved gives his/her written permission.

 

6.3.3       Notice Period.  The unit member to be transferred is given notice at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the beginning of the semester/workyear except in unusual circumstances due to resignation, death, illness, accident, emergency leave, or physical catastrophe.  In addition, the unit member will be notified seventy five (75) calendar days prior to the beginning of the semester if his/her involuntary transfer will result in a new preparation (new preparations are defined in the assignments section of this contract).  The seventy five (75) day notice shall state the involved course(s)/assignment(s) being dropped and added, and the days, hours and locations now required by the involuntary transfer.

 

6.3.4       Vacancy Consideration.  A unit member involuntarily transferred shall be given first consideration for vacancies declared in the discipline or service unit from which he/she was transferred.

 

6.3.5       Reduced Load Request.  A unit member may request a reduced load as an alternative to an involuntary transfer.

 

6.4          Assignments   (Form F 6.4)

6-3


6.8          Assignment of Temporary Credit Units

 

6.8.1       Definitions.

 

A.            Eligible Temporary Credit Unit Member (hereafter referred to as ETCUM):  Any temporary qualified unit member who has provided service (completed assignment), in a discipline in the District credit program (excluding emergency hires, substitution and intersessions) and who was paid on the Credit Salary Schedule (excluding faculty who retired in the 1991/1992, 1992/1993, 1995/1996 or 1998 through 2000 academic years), whose eligibility is referenced in Article 6.8.2 below.

 

1.  For those unit members who provided paid service (excluding substitution and intersessions) beginning with the 1991/1992 academic year through the Spring semester, 1993, ETCUM status was achieved if they provided at least one semester of paid service any time between the Fall semester, 1991 through Spring semester, 1993 time period and if they received a satisfactory evaluation as provided in 7.2.1.3.  However, ETCUMs shall not be denied their employment rights provided herein as a result of not being evaluated.  Any ETCUM not evaluated in the initial academic year of employment shall be evaluated in the subsequent academic year in which they are employed.  All evaluations shall require a written management recommendation for re-employment, as provided in 7.2.1.3.  Any unsatisfactory evaluation shall result in ineligibility.

 

In resolution of an outstanding dispute concerning the status of emergency hires prior to Fall 1993, the parties agree that said emergency hires shall be placed on the ETCUM list for Fall, 1994 in Spring, 1994 by Human Resources.  This agreement resolves the dispute and is not subject to grievance under the provisions of the CBA.

 

2.  As of Fall semester, 1993, any temporary qualified pool candidate who is given a contract to provide service (excluding emergency hires, substitution and intersessions) in the District credit program in the discipline offering the assignment and who was paid on the Credit Salary Schedule, must provide said service from two complete semesters/assignments within a two year period before achieving ETCUM status as defined in 6.8.1.A.  During the first semester of assignment, the unit member shall be evaluated as provided in Article 7.2.1.3 of the CBA.  Eligibility for ETCUM status requires a satisfactory written evaluation including a management recommendation for re-employment.  Any member of the evaluation team may request that the unit member be evaluated in the second semester of service.  If the unit member provides two semesters of service and receives a satisfactory written evaluation including a management recommendation for re-employment, he/she shall achieve ETCUM status.  Any unsatisfactory evaluation shall result in ineligibility.

 

B.  Temporary Credit Units:  Those credit units which are scheduled in the District credit program but not assigned to permanent unit members.

 

C.  Contracts for Temporary Credit Unit Members:  Contracts issued to a temporary credit unit member on a semester-by-semester basis contingent on the availability of temporary units.

 

D.  "Equivalent Step":  For the Purposes of Ranking ETCUMs, "equivalent step" on the salary schedule means placement on the same numerical step of any of the columns of the salary schedule, for example column 1 step 7 is equivalent to column 5 step 7.

 

E.   Temporary Qualified Pool Candidate:  Anyone who has been processed through the screening committee (as defined in District Procedure 5.0006.1 DP.1) for the applicable discipline and who has been given a ranking from that committee.

 

 

6-4


F.   Emergency Hire:  Anyone, who in the absence of available ETCUMs, has been given a temporary credit assignment in a discipline on an emergency basis (as provided for in District Procedure 5.0006.1 DP.1) and who has not been processed through the screening committee for the applicable discipline.  The District

shall notify the UDWC of any temporary credit emergency hire in a discipline that exceeds two semesters and the reasons therefor.  The Union may grieve the reasons set forth pursuant to Article 12 of the CBA.

 

6.8.2       Eligibility.

 

A.  Ranking of ETCUMs for purposes of unit assignments shall be determined by step placement on the Credit Salary Schedule as defined in 6.8.1. D.  In the event that two or more ETCUMs occupy the equivalent step on the Schedule, (excluding faculty who retired with ETCUM status in the 1991/1992, 1992/1993, 1995/1996 or 1998 through 2000 academic years, as provided for in Articles 6.10, 6.10.1, 6.10.2) ranking shall be determined:

 

1.  First by the total number of units of paid credit service in a completed assignment in the District beginning with the Fall semester 1991 (i.e. the ETCUM with the largest number of paid credit units shall be ranked number one).

 

2.  Second, in the case of a tie (excluding ties between retired ETCUMs) ETCUMs who are members of historically underrepresented groups in discipline areas where a designated group (i.e. African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Disabled and Women) is underrepresented shall receive the highest ranking.  For purposes of this paragraph, "underrepresented" and "discipline areas" shall be defined by "The Staff Availability Analysis, California Community Colleges Goals and Timetables," as provided to the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office by the MCCD Compliance Officer.)

 

3.  Third, if there is still a tie, rank shall be determined by a lottery.

 

4.  Ties between retired ETCUMs shall be determined by a lottery.

 

Should additional ETCUMs enter at a step and rank occupied by other ETCUMs, the above procedure shall be initiated for all ETCUMs at that step in order to determine rank (excluding retired ETCUMs).

 

B.      Salary step determinations for ETCUMs shall be made at the end of each semester and Summer session.  The salary step determination shall affect compensation for the next semester in which the ETCUM is employed, (e.g. Salary step determination is made at end of Fall semester, 1992; resultant compensation is effective in Spring semester, 1993 if ETCUM re-employed in that semester).  The salary step determination shall affect ranking for assignment in the corresponding semester of the next academic year, (e.g. Salary step determination is made in Fall semester, 1992; resultant rankings are used in making assignments for Fall semester, 1993).  Human Resources shall announce in writing to all ETCUMs the deadline date for submitting documents, etc. that may affect salary step determination.  All documentation  must be received by the deadline date for consideration in that semester.

 

C.  The lottery (as defined in 6.8.2 A. 1., 2., 3. and 4. above), shall be conducted once each semester after the deadline for submission of documents, etc. that may affect salary step placement.  Human Resources shall announce in writing to all ETCUMs affected by the lottery, the date of the lottery.

 

D.  A temporary qualified pool candidate upon achieving ETCUM status as defined in Article 6.8.1 B. shall be placed on the ETCUM list in the applicable discipline as the lowest ranked ETCUM on the applicable salary step.  If two or more temporary pool candidates in the same discipline achieve ETCUM status at the same time and occupy the equivalent step on the schedule, a mini lottery will be conducted with those candidates to determine the ranking amongst the lowest for assignments in the subsequent semester.  For assignments in the corresponding semester of the next academic year, the lottery (as defined in 6.8.2. A. 1., 2., 3. and 4. above) shall be initiated.                     6-5


E.   Beginning in the Fall semester of 1995, it shall be the responsibility of each ETCUM to notify the District in writing of his/ her wish to be considered for the assignment of available temporary credit units and of the days and times during which he/she is available to work during the next semester.  Such notification shall be accomplished by completing the ETCUM Availability Form (Form F 6.8.2 E.) and returning it to Human Resources on or before February 1 for Fall semester assignment and September 15 for Spring semester assignment.  No ETCUM shall be considered for hiring for the next semester unless the ETCUM Availability Form is returned by the above deadline.

 

A copy of the ETCUM Availability Form shall be included with every "Temporary Credit Contract - Offer of Employment" issued by the District.  In addition, every ETCUM who does not receive a contract offer for the Fall 1995 semester shall be sent by certified mail a copy of the ETCUM Availability Form prior to September 1, 1995.  Additional forms shall be available in Human Resources.

 

An ETCUM who indicates that he/she is not available for assignment in the coming semester shall not forfeit his/her ETCUM status and by the timely submission of an ETCUM Availability Form shall be considered for assignment in subsequent semesters for which he/she has ETCUM status as defined in 6.8.1.

 

Failure to work in a given discipline (excluding substitution and intersession) during two consecutive academic years shall result in the loss of ETCUM status in that discipline.

 

6.8.3       Assignment of Eligible Temporary Credit Unit Members.

 

A.  In any discipline for which an ETCUM has been deemed eligible (as defined in 6.8.1 A. 1. & 2.) the ETCUMs shall in ranked order (as defined in Article 6.8.2) be assigned all the temporary credit units in a discipline to a minimum of 40%.  No ETCUM shall be assigned more than 60% of a full-time equivalent workload for the academic year.  In the case of units identified by the UDWC (as provided for in 8.20 of the CBA) as follows: "units requiring limited special skills unlikely to be possessed by persons of more general qualifications," the District shall not be required to offer said units to ETCUMs who have not provided prior paid service in the specialty units as designated by the UDWC.  The UDWC shall establish the Base Unit Allocation (i.e., the average number of units in a discipline assigned to and completed by temporary credit instructors from July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993).  Any units assigned to a discipline for temporary credit instruction beyond the Base Unit Allocation, may be assigned to ETCUMs or eligible temporary pool candidates (as defined in 6.8.1 E.) qualified in that discipline, who are members of historically underrepresented groups (as defined in 6.8.2 A.).

 

B.  Individuals who qualify as ETCUMs herein are not precluded from seeking employment in other disciplines for which they do not qualify as ETCUMs, but for which they are minimally qualified.

 

C.  ETCUMs who accept an assignment with the District shall be offered one-semester contracts as defined in 6.8.1, C above.

 

D.  Failure to work in a given discipline (excluding substitution and intersession) during two consecutive academic years shall result in the loss of ETCUM status in that discipline.

 

6.9 Assignment of Temporary Non-Credit Units

 

6.9.1             Definitions.

 

A.      Eligible Temporary Non-Credit Unit Member (hereafter referred to as an ETNUM):  Any temporary qualified unit member who has provided service by completing an assignment in a specific course(s) in a quarter, in the District non-credit program (excluding substitution) and who was paid on the Non-Credit Instructor Hourly Salary Schedule.  Said paid service must have occurred during the two academic years (excluding substitution) immediately preceding the assignment, beginning with the academic year 1991-92 and must include a satisfactory evaluation as provided in 7.3.7 excluding faculty who retired in the 1991-

 

6-6


1992 academic year with ETNUM status, as provided for in Article 6.10 of the CBA.  However, ETNUMs shall not be denied their employment rights provided herein as a result of not being evaluated.  Any ETNUM not evaluated in the initial academic year of employment shall be evaluated in the subsequent academic year in which they are employed.  All evaluations shall require a written management recommendation for re-employment, as provided in 7.3.7.  Any unsatisfactory evaluation shall result in ineligibility.

 

B.  Temporary Non-Credit Hours:  Those non-credit hours which are scheduled but not assigned to permanent unit members.

 

C.  Contracts for Temporary Non-Credit Unit Members:  Contracts issued to a temporary non-credit unit member for a quarter or contract period and which are contingent on the availability of temporary non-credit hours and a satisfactory evaluation as provided in 7.3.7.

 

6.9.2             Eligibility.

 

A.  Ranking of ETNUMs (excluding ESL unit members on the credit salary schedule) shall be determined by step placement on the Non-Credit Instructor Hourly Salary Schedule (excluding faculty who retired in the 1991-1992 academic year with ETNUM status, as provided for in Article 6.10 of the CBA).  In the event that two or more ETNUMs occupy the same step on a schedule, ranking shall be determined by a lottery.  Should additional ETNUMs enter at a step occupied by other ETNUMs, the above procedure shall be initiated for all ETNUMs at that step in order to determine rank.  Ties between faculty who retired in the 1991-1992 academic year with ETNUM status shall be determined by a separate, one time only, lottery.

 

B.  The salary step determinations for ETNUMs shall be made at the end of each quarter.  The salary step determination shall affect compensation for the next quarter in which the ETNUM is employed (e.g. salary step determination is made at the end of Summer quarter, 1993; resultant compensation is effective in Fall quarter, 1993, if ETNUM is re-employed in that quarter.

 

C.  The lottery as defined in 6.9.2 A. above shall be conducted at the end of the Summer quarter, after the salary step determinations have been made.  The Personnel Department shall announce in writing to all ETNUMs affected by the lottery, the date of the lottery.  The rankings which result from that process shall be the ranking for assignment for subsequent quarters.

 

D.  A candidate who is processed through the non-credit screening procedures (as provided for in District Procedures 5.0006.1 DP.1) and is given a temporary non-credit assignment (excluding substitution shall achieve ETNUM status and all applicable contract language shall apply.  At the time of initial hire, he/she shall be placed on the ETNUM list as the lowest ranked ETNUM on the applicable salary step for that course.  If two or more candidates fore the same course are hired initially for the same quarter and occupy the equivalent step on the Non-Credit Hourly Salary Schedule, a mini lottery will be conducted with those candidates to determine the ranking amongst the lowest.  At the formal lottery, as defined in 6.9.2.C. above, all ETNUMs, including those recently hired, with equivalent salary step, will draw for his/her ranking within that step.  Should additionally ETNUMs enter at a step occupied by other ETNUMs, the above procedure shall be initiated for all ETNUMs at that step in order to determine rank.

 

6.9.3       Assignment of Eligible Temporary Non-Credit Unit Members.

 

A.  In ranked order an ETNUM who has been deemed eligible (as defined in 6.9.1, A.) shall be given first preference in the assignment of all available temporary non-credit hours to a minimum of 40% and not to exceed 60% of a full-time load for the specific course(s) for which they have had paid service as defined in 6.9.1.A. above.

 

B.  Individuals who qualify as ETNUMs herein are not precluded from seeking employment in other course assignments for which they do not qualify as ETNUMs, but for which they are minimally qualified.

6-7


C.  ETNUMs who accept an assignment with the District shall be offered contracts as defined in 6.9.1, C above.
